>Ah ok, as a system variable, would it be easy for someone to amend though?

Yes. You have to decide whether there is a risk that warrants better protection. But with a little cunning you can conceal both the purpose and meaning of any settings. The only real risk then is of an operator copying the file from one machine to another. But if they have access to the other machine in the first place then this is problematic.

On the plus side you (or 'supervisor') can change the selection of operations that a machine is allowed to perform without modifying the VFP EXE.

Would be a doddle in .NET but I'm not sure how you would do this in VFP beyond the fact that you'd need the WINAPI CheckMembershipToken function....
